wonderful"
Thanks. I hope you realise there was a typo, and that Burton's book was "The
Book of _the_ Sword" 1884 (Chatto and Windus) -- later repr.
reference I gave in connection with your long-lasting interest in those
things.
Incidentally, I noticed that "La forma de la espada" by Borges ('The shape
of the sword') is available in a Dual Language Dover Edition of Short Stories.
I have it and love those dual language editions. It makes you really feel
that you can _handle_ a furrin language.
Cheers,
JL
